It's sweet and simple: the camera captures the reflection of light on the user's eye, and image processing technology then calculates the user's viewing angle to allow for hands-free navigation on-screen.
The light-emitting diode, or LED, of devices like the iPhone are designed to reflect light outwards toward the user.
Instead, the user relies on reflected light, as he would if he were reading a sheet of printed paper.

Whereas tablet PCs are full-blown PCs that contain all their components inside the casing of a notebook-sized flat-screen display, smart displays are light, portable display screens that connect wirelessly to a PC, so a user can interact with the PC away from the desk for reading documents or surfing the Web.
The output is then relayed into a 1.4 mm thick plastic waveguide lens with input and output hologram structures on the surface which squeezes the light down the waveguide and then two dimensionally expands the image back into the user's eye, creating an image that is then mixed into the real world.
